Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2767400A1] A printer (1) comprises feeding means (182, 192) configured to feed a print-receiving tape (51), and printing means (16) configured to apply print of a desired print object to the print-receiving tape (51) fed by the feeding means (182, 192), the printer being configured to continuously produce a plurality of printed matters (L1a, L2a, L2b, L1b, L2f, L2g) comprising the print object formed on the print-receiving tape (51), respectively, in a predetermined order extending along a transport direction of the feeding means (182, 192), the printer further comprises print object acceptance means (S10) configured to accept an input operation of the print object comprising a print identifier that is arranged in each of a plurality of blocks (BL1a, BL2a, BL1b, BL2b) which can be set in plural in a tape length direction with respect to one the printed matter (L1a, L2a, L2b, L1b, L2f, L2g) and is able to be incremented in compliance with predetermined regularity, printing mode setting acceptance means (S10, S20) configured to accept a setting operation of printing modes different from each other for each of the plurality of blocks (BL1a, BL2a, BL1b, BL2b), first image creating means (S30) configured to create a first image (M1a, M1b) of one first printed matter (L1a, L1b) in which the plurality of blocks (BL1a, BL2a, BL1b, BL2b) each comprising the print object is aligned in the tape length direction on the basis of an acceptance result of the print object acceptance means (S10) and the printing mode setting acceptance means (S10, S20), first display means (2) configured to display the first image (M1a, M1b) created by the first image creating means (S30), increment mode acceptance means (S50) configured to accept a setting operation of an increment mode when the print identifier of the print object of each of the plurality of blocks (BL1a, BL2a, BL1b, BL2b) of the first image (M1a, M1b) is incremented for each printed matter (L1a, L2a, L2b, L1b, L2f, L2g), increment quantity acceptance means (S50) configured to accept a quantity setting operation of the printed matter (L1a, L2a, L2b, L1b, L2f, L2g) to be produced, second image creating means (S90) configured to create a second image (M2a, M2b, M2c, M2d, M2e, M2f, M2g) of at least one second printed matter (L2a, L2b, L2f, L2g) in which the print identifier is incremented for each printed matter (L2a, L2b, L2f, L2g) in the increment mode accepted by the increment mode acceptance means (S50) and set to a quantity based on an acceptance result of the increment quantity acceptance means (S50), second display means (2) configured to display the first image (M1a, M1b) and second image (M2a, M2b, M2c, M2d, M2e, M2f, M2g) created respectively by the first image creating means (S30) and second image creating means (S90) together, and printing control means (S200) configured to control the feeding means (182, 192) and the printing means (16) so that the one first printed matter (L1a, L1b) and the at least one second printed matter (L2a, L2b, L2f, L2g) corresponding to the first image (M1a, M1b) and second image (M2a, M2b, M2c, M2d, M2e, M2f, M2g) displayed on the second display means (2) are created by using the printing mode setting accepted by the printing mode setting acceptance means (S10, S20).
